Title: Spawn values
Post by: shiv on March 20, 2008, 05:16:20 am: Previously it has been discussed in this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,52788.0.html
Is it possible to allow game to spawn more than one thing?

Post by: Nuke on March 20, 2008, 11:55:08 pm: ive done multiple spawn tags before and they all worked fine.

Post by: blowfish on March 20, 2008, 11:59:54 pm: They shouldn't...
Title: Re: Spawn values
Post by: Nuke on March 21, 2008, 12:55:00 am: why not? it would make for some cool effects.

Post by: shiv on March 21, 2008, 02:41:06 am: Is anyone there willing to code it? ;7

It looks that for me not. If you have read previous thread you'll see what debug log showed.

What I mean is that it souldn't work in game with the current engine. If it has worked for you then something is wrong or you just aren't seeing things correctly.

Okay, wonderful,

BUT

1. Some people don't know scripting (for example me:D ;) )
2. Doing it every time you design weapon with "multispawn" would be hard. I suggest just coding "multispawn" feature :)

this could have been something in vanilla or even fs1. but i remember that it worked at some point.

Title: Re: Spawn values
Post by: phreak on April 01, 2008, 05:18:38 pm: homework came up, probably sometime next week. need to get the newest changes merged in.
Title: Re: Spawn values
Post by: phreak on April 06, 2008, 04:56:33 pm: committed. it will be in the next official release
Title: Re: Spawn values
Post by: shiv on April 06, 2008, 11:29:29 pm: Oh thanks!
Could you tell me when CVS/stable build with impemented "multispawn" will be out? :)
Title: Re: Spawn values
Post by: blowfish on April 06, 2008, 11:47:23 pm: Probably when someone gets around to doing it. I already have a build that includes it, but it is for Mac OS X. If you really want to have features as soon as they are committed, I would suggest downloading the source and compiling it yourself.

Post by: shiv on April 07, 2008, 08:38:49 am: I know only how to compile on Linux.
